This was your original idea—angels do not fall out of rebellion, but descend out of love.
He (or she) witnesses the suffering of the human world and chooses to break their wings, to lay down their halo, and to share in the mortal cycle of birth, aging, and death.
Here, “falling” is not a failure, but a profound act of condescension—of willingly lowering oneself.
Like Prometheus stealing fire in myth, or Christ descending into human form.
This perspective suggests that true goodness is not a distant act of charity from above, but a willingness to step into the mud and walk alongside others.
